I think it's important to emphasize that when they say meat increases your risk for some disease by 19%, that doesn't mean if your current risk was 1%, it's now 20%. It's 1.19%.
When people hear that statement, "increases by 19%", they think (MyCurrentRisk)+19. Not (MyCurrentRisk)*1.19... which is what they should be thinking. Relative risk is a hard concept to grasp for a lot of people.

"This sounds alarming, but before we panic, let's look at how the studies were conducted..." every nutrition science article should be followed by this

"Dairy products deserve a video of their own"

that sounds... ominous

I love how there is a growing number of "we discussed this in another video"-references. Imagine in 20 years there will be basically a "How to humanity" by kurzgesagt!

I've been vegeterian for the past 4+ years(I still eat fish every once in a while) and honestly I feel pretty normal. But the fact is even before I went full on, I didn't like meat at all(which in my country is considered very weird) so it wasn't that hard for me to switch.

But I think it really depends on your taste, habits, surroundings and sime other factors whether you will consume a lot of meat.

And honestly, I don't judge people who eat meat, because as Kurzgesagt pointed out, it has its health benefits. Heck, even within my own family there are people on both sides and we still sit down and eat on the same table.
I just wish non-vegeterians would treat me the same way too and I stop recieving weird looks when I tell other people I don't eat meat, because it's really annoying.
